Re: things you have to do to adopt vs. getting pregnant Remember the movie "Parenthood"? Keanu Reeves to Diane Wiest: "You know, Mrs. Buckman, you need a license to buy a dog, to drive a car - hell, you even need a license to catch a fish. But they'll let any butt-reaming asshole be a father."

-------- COMMENT-AUTHOR: wendy COMMENT-DATE:5:19 PM COMMENT-BODY:Marisa - just came across your blog from Julie's blog (tales from the stirrups) and HAD to comment on your reference to the Keanu quote from Parenthood. First of all - that movie is one of mine and J's favorite. And that quote is SO fitting at this stage in our lives. Although even before all the TTC and adoption process began we always loved that line. It's so true and so frustrating.
We also love the line by Grandma. Life on the roller-coaster is better than on the merry-go-round.
I wish you the best of luck in your adoption journey. I enjoy reading your blog. Mine is Defective Female and you can link to it from Julie's if you would like to read it.
All the best! --------
